      Embroidery Stitching Handy Pocket Guide - Christen Brown

      MATERIALS

      FABRICS

      Solid fabrics in cotton, batiste, denim, linen, moiré, wool, and silk are suitable, as are cotton prints, hand-dyed fabrics, and batik fabrics. Other base materials, such as felt squares and silk roving, can be interesting to work with. Keep in mind that some amount of fabric will show through the embroidery stitches; therefore, you don’t want the fabric’s color or pattern to overpower the embroidered design and vice versa. Once you choose your fabrics, you can decide whether to make a wholecloth or pieced base.

      Detail of Sand Pebbles, linen fabric with appliquéd lace doily

      Detail of Melted Crayons, silk fabrics crazy pieced into squares with a strip-pieced border

      STABILIZERS

      I suggest using some form of stabilizer for the backing of any project while embroidering; this will minimize the wrinkling and distortion of the fabrics as you stitch. If you desire a firmer base once you have completed the embroidery, use batting or something heavier (such as fast2fuse or Timtex interfacing) during the assembly process.

      Detail of Tatiana’s Garden, solid piece of cotton fabric with vintage lace sections formed into a basket with a handle; backed with fast2fuse

      Blue Heart Etui, 5˝ × 4˝, modified version of log cabin piecing using two large print fabrics; backed with Timtex

      LACE AND APPLIQUÈS

      You can use lace yardage and appliqués as part of a pieced design or as a shape to embroider around. New and vintage laces can be found in a variety of widths, styles, and fiber contents.
